AssumingI were to acquire a simple residential housein Templecombe mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Templecombe?
The sole saving you would achieve is the costs for searches. The solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your sellers property lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be a lot.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Templecombe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Yorkshire BS, do Templecombe solicitors face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
My fiancee and I are spending time viewing flats in Templecombe and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I will be getting a home loan with HSBC.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Templecombe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Templecombe contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Templecombe typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Templecombe or who has acted in the same development.
